On certain vehicles, the fifth wheel hitch assembly may fail to latch securely around the trailer king pin. A trailer separating from the towing vehicle could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the fifth wheel hitch lock bar with a revised version.
